Ted and his team were such a dream to work with. From the time we met Ted when he came to give us a quote for removing a load-bearing wall from our new home, he was thoughtful, professional, kind, honest, and well-versed in his work. As this was our first foray into major home renovations, we wanted someone who was transparent in the process and whom we could trust. All of the guys that worked on the project were amazing as well, and we actually kind of miss all the noise they created now that they're gone! The entire process was a total breeze and we will hire Ted again without hesitation for

We've been using Tj Nelson for about 25 years now and I have to say .... They are a reliable company with consistently high quality work ! The highest compliment was paid to Ted one day on a project he designed for us ... One of our employees arrived on a job sight that he had no idea that Ted did the perpetration work for .. Our man looked around at the construction work and said to me ..... This job looks so good .. It's as if Nelson did this work ... I'll never forget that because it's a clear example of how the workmanship does speak for itself ... If you are doing a project and want it
